Filipino basketball fans in the UAE can now secure their seats for one of the biggest sporting events of the year: the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) clash between San Miguel Beer and Barangay Ginebra at the Coca-Cola Arena on October 26. Tickets have officially gone live on the Coca-Cola Arena website, ending weeks of anticipation among overseas Filipino fans. Prices start at Dh175 and climb up to Dh1,000 for premium seating. Full ticket prices: • VIP: Dh1,000 • Courtside A: Dh900 • Courtside B: Dh700 • Courtside C: Dh550 • Baseline A: Dh650 • Baseline B: Dh400 • Baseline C: Dh350 • CAT A: Dh200 • CAT B: Dh175 The highly anticipated game is part of the PBA’s 50th Season Philippine Cup and tips off at 6pm Dubai time (10pm Philippine time). San Miguel, bannered by reigning MVP June Mar Fajardo alongside stars CJ Perez, Marcio Lassiter, and Mo Tautuaa, will look to defend their crown after a hard-fought championship win against TNT in July. Barangay Ginebra, led by their veteran core, is eager to avenge back-to-back runner-up finishes and topple their long-time rivals. The match also marks the league’s return to Dubai after six years, the last time being in 2019 during the Governors’ Cup. As part of its golden anniversary celebration, the PBA is also staging overseas games in Bahrain. Organized in partnership with Far Eastern Private School and Al Ansari Education Group, the event is expected to draw thousands of fans from across the UAE. “This isn’t just a game—it’s an experience that brings the excitement of Filipino basketball straight to Dubai,” organizers said. “From the opening tip-off to the final buzzer, expect adrenaline, passion, and unforgettable memories.” CAM/Expat Media
